Hudson PEP Elementary - Keep Shining the World Needs Your Light

The third grade scientists have been hard at work, building up to something amazing. Can you guess what it might be? 🤔🧪 Find out next week!

Hudson PEP Elementary School scored an A(98) on the TEA rating—phenomenal! With 6 distinctions, this campus is setting the bar high! 🏆📚✨

✨ Feature Friday! ✨ This week, our amazing 1st graders have been working on their detective skills—learning how to make inferences! 🕵️‍♂️📚 By looking at clues in the text and using what they already know, students practiced “reading between the lines” to figure out what the author didn’t say directly. They loved becoming little detectives and sharing their thinking with the class! We are so proud of the way they are growing as thoughtful readers. 💡❤️ #FeatureFriday #FirstGradeReaders #MakingInferences #LearningIsFun

✨📚 Wisdom Wednesday 📚✨ Our 1st grade mathematicians are on the move—literally! 🚶‍♂️➡️ This week, they’re using the number line to solve tricky addition and subtraction problems. 🧮✨ Every hop, skip, and jump along the line helps them grow stronger in their math strategies. 🌟 Way to go, 1st graders—you’re right on track! 🎉👏 #WisdomWednesday #NumberLineNinjas #MathSuperstars

🔬 Our fifth graders in Mrs. Rodriguez’s class are testing relative density and making science come alive! 🌊⚖️ #HudsonPEP #FutureScientists
